Lottery

If I were to win the lottery...

This is a chat that I have had with a few friends of late.  I realize that to think about winning the lottery is probably not the most sensible retirement plan, but then again why not.  The reality is, and it may sound strange, but what seems to have me thinking about this most is my desire to help those I care for.  As I realized on my drive Sunday, even ten grand would be a help to most, and thus would be nice to do.

So here is my plan for when I win the lottery:
  • My mother would be able to truly retire and would hire people to do everything for her
  • My sisters would be very well taken care of, as well as my nieces and nephews, their children
  • My dad would only have to keep his title as the Godfather of Alumni Gym if he chose to
  • There are friends of mine from the West Coast to the East Coast that would get significant help, commiserate with their needs; Kevin and Ruhl less because they are hugely successful, Mikey and Sal more because they have worked hard enough in their lives, Sage would be covered quite a bit because there are no shortage of people to help him spend his money, and we would not let them know
  • All those that have come to call me Uncle Rock would definitely have less to worry about.  These are amazing kids that have been a great part of my life.  They never fail to make me laugh and/or smile, especially when they help me drive their dads crazy!!
  • Field turf and a small locker and office building to truly create the lacrosse compound for the Broncos. It would not take much to make this great.

Sage took me through how to set this up so everyone gets their piece of the pie without excessive taxation, so all we have to do now is win.

I realize I did not mention everyone, but you get the point.

Thank you again for getting this far with me.
